Default Restoration Update

More progress over the last week, but tough to show in pictures. The external body is complete other than final wet sanding and buffing. Began working the bottom of the body - mostly cleaning (it was in pretty good shape to begin). We repainted the engine compartment (this makes 7 coats) because of a little red overspray, and it was relatively simple to do.

What photos I have are of the interior minus carpets. Check it out! :)

Tom, I had to wait until it was demasked and it got late. I will take a few tonight, and try to take some of the under body.
